Onion Bhaji is a popular street food from state of Karnataka, southern India. It’s a deep-fried snack made from two main ingredients, onions and gram flour. To take it to the next level, at Anchan’s we have worked to create a unique spice mix to make it a brilliant appetizer. It’s similar to fritter or tempura but with the inclusion of our spice mix the emerging flavours are just irresistible.
